Director of Care

Venor is proud to partner with Atlantic Baptist Housing – Centennial Court in their search for a Director of Care to join their team in PEI.

Atlantic Baptist Housing is a respected and trusted long-term care provider committed to delivering high-quality, resident-centered care within a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment. Guided by a philosophy of dignity, respect, and holistic wellness, their dedicated team ensures that each resident enjoys an enriched and meaningful quality of life. As they continue to build on their tradition of excellence, they are seeking a collaborative healthcare leader to join their management team.

This is a unique opportunity for a progressive nursing leader to contribute to the strategic direction, operational oversight, and clinical leadership of the home’s nursing department. The Director of Care will play a key role in supporting resident care standards while fostering a positive and engaging workplace culture for healthcare professionals and support staff.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Lead and participate in the planning, organizing, and directing of nursing and related clinical services in alignment with the organization’s mission, philosophy, policies, and available resources.
• Ensure compliance with PEI Nursing Acts and Regulations and operational care standards while reviewing and updating internal policies and procedures.
• Implement and oversee union contracts and collaborate closely with the Executive Director on strategic operational initiatives.
• Provide leadership to a multi-disciplinary team, managing Nursing Managers, front-line nursing staff, the Recreation Director, Dietitian, Rehabilitation services, and allied health professionals.
• Support and develop departmental goals and objectives and, in the Executive Director’s absence, share supervisory responsibilities for the Home.
• Lead personnel management activities including recruitment, scheduling, staff development, and performance evaluation within the nursing department.
• Oversee the coordination and integration of nursing and allied health services to ensure optimal care and resource utilization.
• Monitor departmental budgets, participate in financial reviews, and implement corrective actions as necessary.
• Establish and maintain positive community partnerships and represent the home in public and professional relations activities.
• Maintain a strong commitment to health, safety, and resident wellness, fostering a healthy, respectful, and violence-free workplace.
